Unidist on PySeq

This section describes the use of unidist with the Python Sequential execution backend, which is for debugging.

There are two ways to choose the execution backend to run on. First, by setting the UNIDIST_BACKEND environment variable:

# unidist will use Python Sequential backend
$ export UNIDIST_BACKEND=pyseq

import os

# unidist will use Python Sequential backend
os.environ["UNIDIST_BACKEND"] = "pyseq"

Second, by setting the configuration value associated with the environment variable:

from unidist.config import Backend

Backend.put("pyseq")  # unidist will use Python Sequential backend

For more information on the environment variables and associated configs specific to the Python Sequential backend see config API section.
